Dat Xbox outage wey start on Sunday evening near 11PM ET, e no just stop people from playing digital games—e even block dem from playing disc-based games. Xbox status page show say service bin dey down for almost one full day, and e also prevent people from logging in, launching apps, or finding games for Xbox store.
My colleague Richard Lawler bin fit launch digital games wey e own, but when e try to play games wey dey for Game Pass, error code 0x87e107df pop up, meaning the license no fit verify. But later, at 6:48PM ET, Xbox announce say the issues don be mitigated. Dem tweet say, “You should once again be able to launch games, sign in, and complete purchases. Thanks for sticking with us through a long one.”
However, di matter no stop there. Just days after PlayStation Network suffer im own outage, Xbox servers go down again on July 23, knocking Live services offline and affecting Store, subscriptions, remote play, and app access. Some gamers report games missing from libraries, inability to sign into accounts, and even option to purchase game wey dem don already pay for.
Worse still, numerous posts on X claim say Xbox players dey exploit a glitch for Store wey allow dem download, install, and play some titles for free. According to eXtas1s, dis exploit supposedly dey for discontinued Xbox 360 games on Xbox One and Series X|S, including Left 4 Dead, Silent Hill: Downpour, and Peter Jackson’s King Kong. But dem attach stark warning: Xbox fit ban any account wey take advantage of dis unconfirmed exploit.
Di story still dey develop, and these claims no don get independent verification from any reputable source. So, take am with healthy skepticism until more details come out. Meanwhile, Xbox don confirm say all services dey up and running now.
